As the prostate enlarges, which happens to almost all men as they get older, it can press on the urethra (the tube that empties urine from the bladder to the outside) causing problems with urination. Prostate enlargement is often called benign prostatic hypertrophy or hyperplasia (BPH). It is not cancer and it does not put you at increased risk for prostate cancer.

Treatment options include "watchful waiting," lifestyle changes, medication, or surgery. If you are over 60, you are more likely to have symptoms from BPH than younger men. But, many men with an enlarged prostate have only minor symptoms. Taking self-care measures is generally enough to feel better.

Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy Which Nonoperative Strategies Are Best? Michael J. Wehle, MD Scott W. Lisson, MD THE PHYSICIAN AND SPORTSMEDICINE - VOL 30 - NO. 4 - APRIL 2002 In Brief: Benign prostatic hypertrophy is one of the common complaints of older men who visit their primary care physicians. Nonoperative therapy, such as drug therapy or lifestyle modification, is aimed primarily at reducing bothersome lower urinary tract symptoms and preventing serious morbidity such as urinary retention and renal function impairment. As more men reach advanced age, it becomes crucial for the primary care physician to be aware of the epidemiology, pathophysiology, natural history, clinical presentation, and therapeutic modalities available for the treatment of clinically significant cases. B enign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH) is the nonmalignant enlargement of the prostate gland from an increase in cellular growth. BPH is the most common benign neoplasm among men, and its incidence increases steadily with age. Clinical BPH is well defined and quite prevalent: Up to 20% of men between 40 and 64and 40% of men older than 65are afflicted. Histologic BPH is found in 50% of men older than 60 and up to 88% of men older than 80.

Available from: www.PowerHealth.org Essential Fatty Acids: Fatty Acids that cannot be made by the body and which must be supplied through the diet, are called Essential Fatty Acids (EFA's), also referred to as Vitamin F. These essential fatty acids are also known as polyunsaturates, and are recommended in order to lower cholesterol and blood pressure, and to reduce the risks of heart disease and stroke. EFA's have also shown to be needed when dealing with candidiasis and coronary heart disease, and to minimize blood clot formation. Omega 3 fatty acids are very important for the brain, and are very important when depression is chronic. It is of critical importance to obtain both adequate levels and appropriate ratios of the different types of essential fatty acids. Flaxseed Oil provides an excellent source of omega 3 and omega 6 essential fatty acids.

Prostate Cance r Prostatitis Top Benign Prostatic Hyp ertrophy, also known as BPH, is a virtually universal overgrowth of the prostate gland in men as they age. Various factors affecting BPH are age, genetic makeup, testosterone levels, and environment. It can start in men's 20's but usually does not cause problems until middle age. It is not related to either Prostate Cancer, (PCa), or prostatitis. What is BPH The prostate gland lies below the bladder and surrounds the urethra, or urine tube. The prostate has little function in humans other than supporting the urethra and some of the sperm ducts. What are the symptoms of BPH? As the prostate enlarges it compresses the urethra causing obstruction to urine flow. The urinary stream becomes smaller, there may be difficulty in initiating the stream, (hesitancy), dribbling, intermittent flow, frequency of urination, getting up at night to void, (nocturia), inability to empty, or even inability to void at all, (retention). BPH can also be the cause of urinary tract infections. How is BPH Evaluated?

Assessing Therapies for Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy and Localized Prostate Cancer. Patient Outcomes Research Team. Principal Investigator: John E. Wennberg, M.D., M.P.H., Dartmouth Medical School. Grant Number: HS 06336. Project Period: August 1989 to February 1995. AHCPR funded a multidisciplinary Patient Outcomes Research Team (PORT) to assess surgical and non-surgical interventions for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and localized cancer of the prostate. For most cases of prostate cancer, the PORT found that the demonstrable benefits of radical prostate surgery and radiation therapy are relatively small, and that the choice of therapy should account for patient preferences. For many men with localized prostate cancer, watchful waiting is a reasonable treatment choice. Prostate PORT Contents (Spring 1995) Introduction Findings Dissemination Implications ... Contents As men age, they are at increased risk of both prostate cancer and benign prostatic hyperplasia. BPH, a noncancerous enlargement of the prostate gland that causes difficulty with urination, occurs as part of the normal aging process. By age 80, as many as 35 percent of men will have under-gone surgery to relieve BPH symptoms such as frequent urination, straining to urinate, a weak urine stream, and a sensation of incomplete emptying of the bladder. Prostate cancer is the most common cancer and the second most common cause of cancer death in American men, causing about 38,000 deaths in 1994. However, the vast majority of men with microscopic evidence of prostate cancer will never develop clinically significant disease. In recent years, the use of radical prostate surgery has increased dramatically for treatment of newly diagnosed, clinically localized prostate cancer.

This condition can be asymptomatic or it can cause a number of urinary problems: increased frequency, decreased force of urination, and nighttime awakening to empty the bladder. If these symptoms become severe, doctors will urge surgery to remove all or part of the gland. It is worth trying to manage symptomatic BPH by natural methods before resorting to surgery: Avoid the prostatic irritants listed above. Try herbal remedies recommended in the Vitamin Advisor. Add soy foods to the diet. The phytoestrogens in soybeans may greatly reduce the risks of both BPH and prostate cancer.

There were 375,000 U.S. hospitalizations for this condition in 1993. Prostate Gland Anatomy The prostate is a walnut sized gland located between the base of the bladder and the base of the penis. The urethra drains the bladder and passes through the center of the prostate and then into the penis. The prostate is made of firm glandular tissue surrounded by a fibrous capsule. It contains muscular tissue which squeezes prostatic fluid into the urethra as part of an ejaculate. It also is surrounded by nerves that are critical to men for achieving and maintaining an erection. Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy Benign Prostatic hypertrophy (BPH) Detection of BPH Prostatic hypertrophy is detected with a digital rectal exam (DRE), as is early prostate cancer . Both conditions affect men as they age. It is important to distinguish between the two conditions since they are treated completely differently and have dramatically different consequences. On DRE, the prostate of BPH feels smooth, but may be enlarged to a peach size. A blood test for Prostatic Specific Antigen (

BENIGN PROSTATIC HYPERTROPHY AND HIGH INSULIN Gabe Mirkin, M.D. A study from Sweden shows that having high levels of insulin may cause an enlarged prostate. When a man has to stand for long time before he can start urinating, he is usually diagnosed as having Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy, which means that his prostate gland is so large that it squeezes his urinary tube and blocks the flow of urine from his bladder to the outside. Doctors don't have the foggiest idea what causes BPH, but they continue to cut out or burn prostates, even though the surgery often causes men to become incontinent, impotent, ejaculate backwards into the bladder, and have prostate infections. This study shows that the prostate enlarges much faster in men with high blood insulin, high blood cholesterol, lower blood levels of the good HDL cholesterol, diabetes, high blood pressure, or obesity. All these conditions increase your risk for a heart attack. If future studies support this one, you can protect your prostate by eating a plant-based diet, restricting refined carbohydrates such as bakery products, pastas, sugar-added foods, and fruit juices, and checking to see if you have diabetes.

Urology The Emory Department of Urology wants to provide excellent, innovative medical and surgical care in the context of superb research and education Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) (Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy) by Rick Alan Definition Benign prostatic hyperplasia is non-malignant enlargement of the prostate. The prostate is a walnut-sized gland located at the neck of the bladder surrounding the urethra. It is part of the male reproductive system. Causes The exact cause of BPH is unknown. It may be related to changes in hormone levels as men age. These changes probably cause the prostate to grow. Eventually, the prostate becomes so enlarged that it puts pressure on the urethra. This causes the urethra to narrow or, in some cases, close completely. Risk Factors A risk factor is something that increases your chance of getting a disease or condition. The main risk factor for BPH is being over 50 years old. By age 60, 50% of all men will have BPH. By age 80, 90% of men will have BPH.

Z BENIGN PROSTATIC HYPERTROPHY GENERAL INFORMATION: What is it? Benign (buh-nine) prostatic (prah-stah-tik) hypertrophy (hi-per-tro-fee) is when the prostate (prah-state) slows grows larger. It is also called "BPH." The prostate is a male sex gland that helps makes semen. It sits below the bladder and wraps around the urethra like a donut. The urethra (u-ree-thruh) is the tube that carries urine from the bladder into the penis. The urine is then passed out of the body. As the prostate grows, it can squeeze the urethra (u-ree-thruh) making it harder to urinate (pass urine). This can block urine flow and cause urinary problems. BPH is very common in men over 45 years of age but rarely causes problems before age 60. Tests will be done to learn about your prostate. You may need drug treatment or prostate surgery if your urinary problems get worse. Causes: It is not known what causes BPH. It may be just part of getting older. Some caregivers believe it is caused by a change in hormones as men age.

CME in this activity indicates that it was developed according to ACCME guidelines and was certified for credit by one or more accredited CME or CE providers. Medscape cannot attest to the timeliness of expired CME activities. Contents of This CME Activity The past decade has seen an unprecedented evolution in our understanding of health and disease, accompanied by rapid development of new therapies and therapeutic approaches. As this expansion of medical knowledge was occurring, however, it was perhaps inevitable that some of the original treatment options for some of the more general disease states should lose their status in the medical continuum. But should the latest state-of-the-art advances always relegate the established standard-of-care to the history books? One of the staples of medical treatment for two important conditions, hypertension and benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH), has been blockade of the alpha-adrenergic system, with agents such as prazosin (MiniPress), Tamsulosin (Flomax), Terazosin (Hytrin), and doxazosin (Cardura). However, the position of alpha blockade has slipped a bit in recent treatment guidelines (eg, the JNC-VI hypertension guidelines) and clinical trials (ALLHAT, final results to be announced at the end of 2002). And yet, particularly in older males, alpha blockers remain an attractive and reliable treatment option.
